Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the device measures steps via mechanical or electronic counters to confirm classification under 9029; fitness apps alone may shift to 8517

Include accurate sensor specifications in documentation to avoid reclassification as toys (9503) or wearable tech (8517)

Ensure FCC compliance for wireless models, as radio features could trigger additional 8526 scrutiny
